Each week we will feature a member of our community across all areas of the school including students, teachers, parents, support staff and more, to get to know members of our family a little better. If you would like to be featured, please email: newsletters@bisad.ae.
Name and a little bit about you:
Hi, I’m Carole Ashworth and I’m a Secondary teacher at BIS Abu Dhabi.
Where is “home” for you?
I'm from a small fishing town, on the Southwest coast of Devon, UK, called Brixham.
What do you do in Abu Dhabi?
I am a Biology teacher, and in my spare time I enjoy walking, cooking, eating and CrossFit.
What brought you to Abu Dhabi?
I've always dreamed of travelling the world and embarking upon an international teaching career. The UAE was a huge draw to the travel opportunities and the rich and diverse culture of the country.
Tell us something that few people know about you:
I've journeyed the Hai-Van pass, in an old WW2 jeep, in Vietnam, as made famous by Top Gear.
What is your favourite thing about being a part of the BIS Abu Dhabi community?
I really love the extra curricula programme and offerings we have for our students.
What do you enjoy most about living in Abu Dhabi?
The opportunity to experience every international cuisine imaginable and how safe I feel here.
Principal Patrick Horne writes about how in education, there is a specific zone which teachers subconsciously use every day. It is also useful for parents to know about to help assist their children at home.
It is a real pleasure to welcome everyone to the British International School Abu Dhabi for the new academic year. For our returning families and our new families, we wish you and your children every success.
